Hi I am going to be starting You are Your Own Gym soon. How would I mark this in the spreadsheet? Is it considered weight lifting? Thanks so much!

I am not sure about the TDEG. It always says to eat at my BMR. I have changed my weight to see what it would say if I put in more or less for my weight and it always gives me my BMR number. I used to eat pretty close to my BMR before I started EM2WL and not much was happening then. So I'm not sure what to do. Should I…

Hi Heybales Now I think I am confused. I was just using the Simple Set up Tab and taking 15%-20% off my TDEE. I would get a value of 2300-2400 calories. So that is what I was trying to eat. Should I be eating less? The two body fat percentages are pretty close. So I think it is pretty accurate.

Hi I am not sure what happened, but I put in for an invitation a while ago. Life happened and I forgot about it!! Anyway, I don't think I was sent an email. Would it be possible for you to send another one? Thanks!

Thanks Heybales! I am going to try Cathe's 3 dvds which will be heavy lifting for me(I think it will be weightlifting for the spreadsheet) and skip the body pump stuff. I will cut down my cardio to 2 days a week. With Sunday being a rest day. I looked at the spreadsheet incorrectly. I have lost about 2% body fat which I am…

Thanks Jen! I am excited to get the new dvds. I decided to order Muscle max, and two XTrain dvds by Cathe. I think that they all use heavy weights. So would they fit in the weight lifting section of Heybale's spreadsheet? Thanks! Kris

Hi everyone Here's more info. about me. I am female, age 38, 213 pounds. My body fat percentage is around 33%. I have been eating pretty clean and trying to get in my protein. I think I'm going to change things up a bit. I plan on doing only 2 days of cardio, two days of a dvd that is like body pump. I am going to get…

Another question. I have heard good things about Cathe's dvds. Can anyone recommend a good one and one that is considered heavy lifting. I am thinking maybe I can do some Cathe dvds for heavy lifting and Shaun T. for cardio?? Thanks again! Kris

I would love to join!! Is it too late? Kris

I ordered it and it should be here on Friday! Yea!! Can't wait to try it. How do you categorize it in the fitness tool? I have been doing a mix of insanity and asylum and mark it as high impact aerobics.

Oops I feel like an idiot! I went to update my weight. I must have started at 204 and went down to 202. I thought I started at 201. I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Any suggestions would be helpful though!! Kris

Insanity and Aslum are Beach Body workouts by Shaun T. They have lots of tons cardio. It's the hardest workout I've ever done! I'm dripping in sweat at the end.

Sorry I should have posted more about myself. I am 5 feet 9 inches. I hover just above 200 pounds. I am quite active doing the Beachbody Insanity and Asylum. I am supposed to eat 1500 calories a day to lose 11/2 pounds a week. I eat almost all of my exercise calories, so I tihnk I eat around 2000 calories per day. We…
